Hoedown at Croquet Center to Benefit KidSanctuary

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Michelle Boren, Stephanie Kantis and Francie Leidy Mackay are chairing the KidSanctuary Hoedown, March 22, 2014, at the National Croquet Center in West Palm Beach.

The event will support construction of the second home on the KidSanctuary Campus, the Dodero Cottage, and honor the 14 teams designing it. The cottage is scheduled to open in the spring.

“We will soon complete the Dodero Cottage and welcome new foster children who wouldn’t have otherwise had a home of their own,” said KidSanctuary President Connie Frankino. “This would not have happened without our overwhelmingly generous chairs, donors, designers and volunteers.”

Joe Fava, of Fava International, is the Dodero Cottage design chair.

“My group is excited to be working with so many designers and vendors who will generously and diligently create interiors for the second KidSanctuary home,” he said. “Each designer will be dedicating hours of time and resources to change a bare space into a world that is warm, inviting and safe for kids that truly deserve a home environment.”

Tickets for the hoedown, which will feature the “Tom Jackson Band,” are $200 per person.

KidSanctuary Campus, Inc. helps children who have been removed from their home because of neglect and abuse. The five-acre residential facility broke ground with its first home on October 5, 2011. The J.M. Rubin Foundation sponsored the first house to be named, The Rubin Cottage.
